FROM COURT AID
Mrs. Friedman Declares Her

A plot to drive her o:;! of prisnn and
aocial betterment work, aimed against
her by Tammar.y politician* brer-use of
her alleged support of th? Mils bill
to reform t*?e ?- *'. rior ci mina] courts,
??va* one of the causes given yesterday
by Mrs. Antonia Friedman for hir
abrupt dismissal as superintendent of
the Magdalen li?me, in IHckman
Street
Coupled with thia, she ?aid, was the
?rppoaition *J tl n the board of director!
of the laatitution to her employment

prison reform methods.
"Up until a few weeks ago." she said
at ber borne. 89 Fait Tenth Street. "I
was a probation officer attached to the
Children's Court. One day Frank
Smith, chief clerk of the Court of Spe?
cial Sessions, sent for rr.e and accu-ed
me of working for the inferior crim?
inal courts bill.
"He ?aid that If the bill pasted, be
and a number of other of the attach?*
of the court and Judge Mayo would be
out of their jobs. He told me to stop
my aet.vit'es, but I told him I knew
nothing about the bill. He sent for me
later a second time and said, 'I'll get
you if you don't stop work-ng for that
bill."
"Two d?ys later eighteen of mv pro?
bation case records disappeared, and
later two of them were put back with
entries charged. There was one case,
that of Clarence Kyle, for which I made
up from memory the entries for the
?north of January for the reason that
It was due for report to the court.
"Then suddenly charges were brought
against me of falsifying the records,
conduct unbecoming an otfWr and
other things. 1 whs taken sick from
the shock with nervous prostration.
My sister can tell you what happened
next."
Her sister. Lydia Krause, said that
Smith sent for Mrs. Friedman's badge,
and she went to see him to explain that '
Mr?. Friedman was sick, and she <?:d
rot want to search nmor.g her belong?
ings for the budge.
"Mr. Smith said the matter was not
aerious," M m KraUM said, "and that
my sister could beat them with a .
lawyer. Me said the board had broucht
the charge?: ng.';;''.*-' hi? will. 1 saw him
next day and he was very diff?rent, Hfl
aaid my sister had grown too big for
her job and was trying to run the en?

"When I asked him who stole the
records he "appeared much embarT-a?**ed
and said nobody stole them, and ad?
mitted that be bad the Mackay case,
one of the records which had disap?
peared, in bis office. He said my sister
was not on trial for that, but for the
Kyle case."
Mrs. Friedman then took up the story
and said that after she recovered from
ber illness she did not feel strong
enough to go on fighting the opposition
to her, and resgncd as probation offi?
cer, and the charges against her were
witndrawn.
"There wn? a strict understanding."

RAE TANZER TURNS
ON J. W. OSBORNE
Is Now Convinced, Her
Lawyer Says, That He
Is Oliver.
SLIP IN COURT
RLVEALS SECRET
Was Overwrought and Nervous
When She Admitted "Hon?
est Mistake."
Mis* Rae Tanr.er tripped In her t?>
timony yesterday afternoon and made
a statement which rr -esled the am?;
'ing fact that she still believes Jame?
W. Osborne to be her missing Oliver.
A month ago she withdrew her suit
again?-! him for breach of promise, on
the ground that she had been mis?
taken.
She was a witness at the trisl of
Franklin D, Safford for perjury. Saf
ford wBs the clerk at the hotel in
riainfiold who identified Jame* W. Os
borne a? the man who ncoomnpnied
Mis? T?nzer there last October.
Benjamin Slade. counsel for Snfford,
produced a letter ami a photograph.
"Who wrote 'Answer soon' or this
envelope ?" he asked Miss Tan7cr.
"The gentleman who wsa with me
ths* evening."
"Is that the gentleman who is rep?
resented in this picture?"
"Yea."
The photograph was thst of .Tames
W. ?--borne.
Few in the courtroom realised the
significance of this statement, as it
was buried under a macs of evidence
which was all in accord with Miss
Tanzer*? position that James W. os
borne was not the man.
To Harold Spielberg, her lawyer,
however, it was no surprise.
"It's what I've been afraid of for
two week:," he admitted last night.
"Miss Tanzer is convinced now that
James W. C-horne is the man she
knew last fall. Shall 1 dn.n the
eaae? No, I'll stand by her as long as
she tells the truth. That is what I
counselled her in the beginning, to
tell the truth at any cost."
It was evident to those who talked
to her two weeks ago that Miss Tan
7or was confused about James W.
Oaborne. In one sentence she would
say he was not the man. In the next
she accused him directly. She haunted
the building where he has his office;
she went to the Sherman Square
Hotel where he live?; "he stood
around the doors of clubs where ?he
thought ?he mirht catch a glimpse of
h'rn all in the hope of settling
definitely her own doubt.
James W". Oaborne did not give her
a chance to see him. The first time
Fhe has seen him since the day she re?
canted her original Maternent was in ,
the courtroom on Wednesday. When
she recanted, it was because ?he saw
James W. Osborne, ? stooping, tired
faetd man. Her Oliver never stooped.
It was that more than anything else,
she said, in her moments of doubt af?
terward, that made her doubt him.
Shp was overwrought nei-vously and
frightened at the machinery of the
Federal Court which she had started
whirling about her. After she went to
Atlantic City and recovered her health ?
she began to realize that a stooping po?
sition was only a little thing to de
termina the identity of a man.
One night, f.t the home of a friend,
several prominent lawyer.*' and psychol- :
ogists, who are familiar with the per?
sonal appearance and habits of Jamrs |
\V. Osborne, questioned the girl, l'n- J
der their adroit lead it soon became!
apparent that the picture she was har
boring in her mind was extraordinarily
like the James W. Osborne they knew
professionally.
Last night Miss Tanser refused to
discuss the turn affairs have taken.
She maintained that when she identi?
fied the photograph of James W. Os?
borne as that of the man who was with !
her, it was a slip of the tongue; all
she really meant was that it looked
very much like him. She only con?
sented to testify ht all, she said, be- I
cause she was so sorry for poor Mr. '
Safford, whom she had involved in so
much trouble. She was allowed the '
privilege of answering only such ques- ;
tions as she believed would not in- j
criminate her.
"I want to tell the truth," she said, ?
"but I cannot answer on advice of '
counsel."
James W. Osborne stood up in court,
lenning forward and listening intently.
The court listened breathlessly as the
tinv witgjess looked straight at him
and gave the following description of
the man who was with her in Plainfield:
"He was tall. He was well built. ?
He had blue eye?. Hi? hair was gray. '
He had large cheekbones and a very j
quick manner."
Mary Wilson, three years old, fell
out of the window of her home, on the
second floor of 685 Amsterdam Avenue,
and was killed.
Or. Abraham Jaeobi will be the guest
next Thursday night of the medical
statf of the Bronx Hospital at a dinner
at th.- Hotel Astor in honor of his
eighty-fifth birthday.
Giuseppe Grazino, a laborer, of 122
Park Row. was dispossessed for non?
payment of rent and committed suicide
by shooting himself in the head.
The Gaelic League and the All Hal?
lows' Institute will give a concert to?
morrow on Kllis Island.
Mr?. Elizabeth Heck, a widow, of
East Orange, was found asphyxiated.
She lift the landlady $1 to pay for the ',
gas she used 0 kill herself.

Senator O'Gorman Refuses Suffrage Plea?
But Poses for Picture with Fair Pleaders
Senator O'Gorman facing Mrs. Inez Milholland Boisseva|n and .Mrs. William Colt as be told a delegation from the
Congressional Union that he would not vote for the Federal amendment for woman suffrage.
Opposed to (hange in Pederal
Constitution. He .'"?ays, and
.Several Delegates "Boo ?
Women's Words Convey
Threats for Future.
Senator Jame? A. O'Ciormnn will he
photographed with tlie suffragists he
deems it a great pleasure to he asso?
ciated with the ladies hut so lout* as
he ?its in the United States Senate he
will not, unless his constituents forre
him to it, use his vote to enfranchise
the sex. So much the Congressional
l'nion found out yesterday, when two
hundred of its members called upon
him at his orfne at 87 Wall Streut.
The Democratic Senator took his
stund upnii states' right.-? and admon?
ished the suffragists not to seek to dis- :
turb "that {treat landmark, the Consti?
tution." They were, he told them, over
hasty in demanding freedom. They
ought to remember that what is pood
for 1'tah mny not be good for New.
York. They ought to reflect that while
not actually casting the ballot in New
York they had powerful influence. The
delegation, led ny Miss Alice Paul, Mrs.
William Prendergast, Mrs. Henry Hru
ere, Mrs. William Colt, Mrs. Klden Bis- ;
bee Mrs. Henry Rutterworth, Mrs. Inez
.'?iilholland Boisrevain, Mrs. Crystal
Kustman Benedict, ?>Iiss Loris Stevens,
Mrs. Edward Livingston Hunt, Mrs.
John Rogers, Jr., end Mrs. Talbot Per?
kins, accepted the turndown graceful?
ly, except that ?orr.e excitable one* in
the crowd could not be restrained from
booing when Mr. O'Gorman made his
remark about indirect influence.
Previous to callin?; upon '.he Senator
at 4 o'clock the .Suffragists held a !
meeting in front cf the Sub-Treasury,
Building. A huge crowd of men and
hoy- heard Mrs. Bruere and Mrs. Jessie
Hardy Stubbs make speeches. A brass
band played tunes until it decided to
consider itself overworked.
Liquid refreshments, however, re?
vived the band, and it consented to ae- |
company the procession to 37 Wall
Street.
Headed by Miss Janet Bums and i
Mis* Matilda Spence. carrying a huj
banner, inscribed "Will Senator O'Goi
man \'nte for the Federal Amendmer
This Year?" the women marched int
the office building between line? I
curious stenographers and mes?*engr
bo\a. They were admitted to Senato
O'Corman's office, where they had nr
long to wait. Almost instantly the don
opened and the portly Senator waike
in.
"I am glad to see you, ladies," h
said, with a smile.
The talkfest opened at once. Every?
body stood, though Mrs. Boissevan
pressed the host to sit down In th
armchair at his elbow. "We'd all b
much more comfortable if you would
and we'd feel it perfectly courteous,
she said. He replied that he woub
prefer Mrs. Boissevain to take thi
chair. It remained unoccupied.
Mrs. Colt, acting M chairman, ir
rapid succession introduced Miss Ste
vens, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Prendergast
Mrs. Benedict ?nd Mrs. Boissevain
each of whom made a brief speech
M'ss Stevens told the Senator that th?
suffragists remembered very pleasant
ly how, as a member of the steering
committee, he had voted to create a
majority woman suffrage committee.
"This," she told him, "is the first
of a nation-wide series of deputations
to enlist the help of our statesmen In
securing the passage in the tilth Con?
gress of the national suffrage amend?
ment."
Mrs. Prendergast asked Senator
O'Gorman why woman suffrage should
be a matter of geography. It was, she
said, Incongruous for a President of
the t'nited States to listen with the
respect which the ballot commanda to
the women of one section of the coun?
try and Ignore the opinions of another
section. Mr?. Boissevain laid down
the principle that when anybody want?
ed very much to do a thing he did it
Then came Mrs. Benedict, who alone
of all the speakers awoke a flash of in?
terest in Mr. O'Gorman's unresponsive
face.
"I appeal to you as a woman to a
man." she said. "If the men of this
country compel the women to win suf?
frage state by state, to work on and on
like an athlete overstrained, condemned
to unnecessary, racking tests, if you
CITYS MEDICAL EXAMINER
SOON SOLVES MURDER CASE
Police. Coroner and High Officials Proceed Along Well
Beaten Trail Until Telephone Clears Doubt as
to How Unfortunate Woman Died.
A "murder" case was solved in New
York City yesterday. Since it was con?
sidered a mysterious murder from the
time the body of a woman later identi?
fied as Mrs. Ernestine Heldman, thirty
eight, of West New York, N. J., was
found in a shanty on Lenox Oval, ?
baseball field, at Lenox Avenue and
115th Street, until the autopsv was per?
formed by Dr. Otto Schultz, New York
County's first medical examiner, it is t
befitting the facts be recorded from
tb? beginning.
Walter Dooley, eighteen years old,
caretaker of the ball field, was appealed
to by a woman outside the shanty
about 0 o'clock yesterday morning. She
mumbled that she "was sick. It wag
raining, and her appearance was so
wretched that Dooley told her to go
into the shanty until the weather
rleared. He went about his work on
the field, returning to the building
?bout an hour later.
Dooley was startled to find the worn
?n dead. He ran to the Dolphin Hotel,
Ihe doors of which open into the ball
tield, and told employes of the circum?
stance, and they notified Patrolman
James Mnhan.
Then things proper to all murder
myster:?-< In fmti standing began to
happen. En st was the arrival of Act?
ing Captain Cooper, of the 4th Branch
Detective Bureau, with five detectives.
Inspector Eaurot and a corps of offl
:ial photographers and finger print ex?
pert? were given a clear road from
l'ulue Headqarters in a large touring
?ar with the large "P. D." displayed
-onspicuou.-ly on the hood. Coroner
Hallenstein came next, with his physi?
cian. Assistant District Attorney Dea
ron Murphy next made his appearance
s'ith the county medical examiner.
A careful examination was made. No
mnrks of violence were in evidence.
I'hotographa were taken, finger print*
looked for and Dooley was ?ought. He
had gone. A search was made for him by
two detective?. They learned that he
had gone to his home, at 242 West 143d
Street, and changed hi* clothes. More
detectives were ?ent for him. He was
found on the opposite corner from the
hotel, standing idly by to see what was
happening.
The customary third degree next was
flawed on the film, Deacon Murphy ad?
ministering it to Dooley.
More mystery and scurrying around
by detectives. They scurried until
they found Rudolph (?lick, a friend of
Dooley's. Long brown hair, similar to
the .lead woman's, was found entwined
Hround a button of his coat. More mys?
tery, and a hurrying out of more de?
tectives. They returned with three
young girls and another man. No
names given out.
Then came a lapse of more than an
hour, with no outside signs of activity.
It was broken by Deacon Murphy, who,
accompanied by Inspector Eaurot. came
downstairs and said: "Erom every in?
dication now there hag been a murder
committed There is much to be cleared
up. Eor r.stiii,ce. our investigation ao
far ahow? hat the unidentified woman
was registered in this hotel with a man
a? 'Mr. and Mr?. Thompson.' They were
In room V? and cam? here about 1
o'clock this morning. The door of the
room was locked from the inside. The
whereabouts of the man is not known
to us.
"The woman evidently left the room
by way of the window and down a
back Btairs to the hall nark. We expect
to get 'Thompson,' and, in addition to
his arrest, two more will be arrested as
material witnesses. The fact that there
were no marks of violence does not, of
course, mean that the woman was not
murdered. She may have been given
'knockout drops.' "
A telephone bell interrupted Mr.
Murphy. He went to the instrument.
This was heard:
"Ves, yes, this is Mr. Murphy. WhatT
Pneumonia, you say? Are you sure?
"Well, well, what do you think of
that?" he said as he hung un the re?
ceiver. "It was Dr. Schultz who called
up to say the autopsy showed death
was due to pneumonia."
Late last night a brother of the
woman identified the city. He said her
husband. Charles, a plumber, had not
lived with her for several years and
had lost track of her.

UNDERCOVER
'force us to do this when Congress
might set us free, I say you are going
to ereile a hitternes.i between men and
i women which it will take years to over?
come."
Mrs. Benedict warned the Senator
that the suffragists would not fail to
use the means at their command the
power of the women voters in t'.'.e
. West.
"Now," said Mrs. Colt, "Sena'or
I O'Gorman has been very patient in
i listening to us, and I think we ought
i to give Tiim a chance to talk."
"I am glad that I have had the op- !
portunity of listening to your eloquent
presentation of your views," the Sen
?ter told his visitors, "but I cannot
respond to your call. I am unalterably
opposed to changes in the Federal Con*
I stitution. The sole effect of the pro
1 posed amendment would be to force
woman suffrage on states that are op?
posed to it. Why do you abandon the
j method by which you have secured
eleven states? Those states ha?*e '
adopted it without compulsion, and
whjr deprive other states of the same
1 privilege?
"Remember, what is good for a West?
ern state, with a sparse population,
may not be desirable for New York.
You ?ho are here represent a large and
influential element, but I could . J
semble in another room an equal niim
i her of women who do not desire the
ballot."
When he addefl that the women be
'fore him were too hasty in demanding
the ballot, Mrs. Boissevain fired up.
"I don't believe anybody under this,
broad sky can be too hasty in demand?
ing freedom," ?he said.
"Would you have the white women
' beg the black men of the South for
freedom ?" demanded another woman.
Then Mrs. Colt called a halt on tie
heckling, and the Senator was invited
to he photographed with the ladies, to
which he agreed smilingly. Miss Paul,
chairman of the Congressional Union,I
stated after leaving that the interview
was very satisfactory. Senator O'Gor?
man had indicated at one point that
if New York indicated a strong desire
for the enfranchisement of its women
he would obey. This, she said, was all
I they could hope for.
i forced to remain in th? jail much
| lonjor."
Justice Brady stated that he viewed
i the case from the standpoint of hu
| manity and would, be glad to consider
i a motion to adir it th? woman to bail.
"While she is under indictment for
j murder," he said, "we must look upon
the humane side of the case as well
I as the legal. It is a very sad matter, !
not only to those who have been con- |
nected with it in an official capacity,
but also to the whole community,
t which I believe almost unanimously
1 sympathizes with the prisoner."
Com nenting upon the determination
of Rogers to marry Mrs. Walters as
soon as his wife, Mrs. Caroline Gid
dings Rogers, obtains a divorce from
him, Justice Brady said this would be
an act of humanity and an honorable
amend.
The justice set May 4 as the date of
the hearing, and suggested that an at?
tempt be made to obtain Surrogate
Sehdltz's courtroom for the trial. He j
also asked that an appeal be made to
have a justice- assigned to the case and
for a courtroom, if the Surrogate's
could not be had.

If wn? deeded, ho.vever. tO l?Mrtrt the
venting of the title of St Andrew's
Church, at the corner of Puane Street
and City Hall Piace, until the com?
mittee could consult with Cardinal
Parley and sume arrantfemf-nt be made,
either to leave the church where it is
or to move it to some other location
in the neighborhood. The site for the
Courthouse, with some additional prop?
er?, now provided for, just north of
the Municipal Building, was previously
di'terniined.
Controller Prendergast raised the
only dlBMRting vmre. Although the
Controller voted for the original Bit?
and the additional site, he voted
against taking title apparently as a
matter of "urgent economy" at this
time. The Controller said last night
that if he could find a way to block
the project he would do if. He ex?
pressed doubt, however, as to whether
anything co ild be done, as the Legis?
lature made it mandatory upon the
city to erect the bunding.
In explaining his objections the Con?
troller said that many things had hap
pet.ed since he favored the project,
and that he voted against it no?.v be?
cause he did not believe the Board of
L'stimate had any clear understanding
of the cost.
"It is proposed to sell the property
that is not needed." ?aid Mr Prendrr
gn--t. "Assuming that the co?t of the
original site is $7,000.000 and the cost
of the additional site $0,000,000, the
total is $12,000.0 o, and I do not believe
the city will he able to sell the prop?
erty not r? 'Hire,) at a figure that will
hold the needed site at less than $&.
000,000. I do not believe that any of
the ?site can be sold to advantage until
after the Courthouse is built."
The recommendations adopted author?
izing the vesting of title also recom?
mended that the layout of the site by
the Courthouse Board be approved,
that the President of the Borough of
Manhattan be requeste?! to take the
necessary steps for the construction of
temporary roadways within the site,
and that the Bureau of Franchises be
directed to enter into negotiations with
the railroad corporations for the shift?
ing of their tracks from Worth and
Centre streets to other streets.

With the close of our Vari?
ety Show?this week devoted
to illustrating in our window?,
day by day the wide Variety
of suits we offer at varioui
prices, we are glad to wind up
with the $20 and $22 goods.
In the rapid expansion of
our business we sometimes
fear that some of our old
friends, accustomed to buy- J
ing suits from us at about
these figures, may have felt
that because of the emphasis
laid on the higher priced
goods, we were neglecting
the more modest prices.
Of course we are proud of
the fact that with the im?
proved style and finish which
years have brought to our
product, we have had a stead?
ily increasing demand for our
goods from men who have
been paying custom tailors
much more than we need ask.
For such men we have
combed the markets of the
world for the finest woolens
obtainable, have searched for
exclusive patterns, and have
achieved results.
But in our progress toward
the day when all men who can
afford the finest woolens will
look to clothiers of oursort.we
have never forgotten the great
body of our staunch friends
who look tous for service and
value?for first rate suits
which they can depend on at
prices like $20 and $22.
We give them the Valu?
and besides that we offe
such wide Variety as we are
showing to-day.
Everything men and boys
wear.
Sporting goods at all four
stores.
